Effect of single-ion uniaxial anisotropy on the phase diagrams of magnetic system in the presence of internal spin fluctuation

Abstract

Basing on the two-spin-per-site Heisenberg model, the effect of single-ion uniaxial anisotropy on the phase diagrams of magnetic system in the presence of internal spin fluctuation has been investigated by use of the mean field theory. It was found that single-ion uniaxial anisotropy has important effect on the phase digrams. In the ferromagnetic case ( J 3>0) the positive single-ion uniaxial anisotropies ( D) suppress the internal spin fluctuation and raise the phase trasition temperature, and negative single-ion uniaxial anisotropies ( D) increase the internal spin fluctuation and reduce the phase trasition temperature. In the antiferromagnetic case ( J 3<0), there exist two critical values J c1 and J c2 (| J c2|<| J c1|) in the positive D values. In the | J 3|<| J c2| range intra-spin exchange coupling prevails inter-spin exchange coupling, the positive D values suppress the internal spin fluctuation and raise the phase transition temperature. In the | J 3|>| J c1| range the two sub-spins behave as a rigid spin and the positive D values make the reduction of the phase transition temperature. We also observe that the larger D values make the range of internal spin fluctuation to move towards the larger | J 3| range.
